Fashion Journal

Over the last year I have been following a number of fashion blogs. A few days back I stumbled upon this really cool blog of Jessica Schroeder. What she does is, photo-journal her daily outfits on the blog with details about where she bought each item she is wearing from. Though I am aware that she is not the first person to have a blog on this concept but what struck a chord with me are all her outfits! I love them all and thats a first for me. Everyone has their own style and fashion-sense but her's resonated with me.

I, too like to mix-match my outfits, not have any one particular way of dressing. I like it all whether it's the biker-girl look with leather jackets and metal accessories or bohemian look with long flowing skirts and cotton blouses or a classic hollywood look with figure-huggin gowns and diamonds. I give a thought before putting on even my daily wear ... even if it's a simple jeans and top to do groceries. Over the years, I believe, I have finally found my comfortable-fashion niche. I am not intimidated by the fashion trends but instead try and incorporate them in my wardrobe only if it works for my body type. In teenage and early 20's I never followed 'the' fashion mantra, but I have realized it's actually true - Own a few good pieces and then mix-n-match. P.S. Don't forget to accessorize!

Well, so today I am 'blog-lifting' Jessica's concept and trying it for myself. I wore the outfit on Christmas day. My aim was to stay away from red & green deliberately to avoid looking like a Christmas tree. Yet, I wanted to look & feel 'fun' and 'merry'!
